:( Ninety percent of the members here are on the gluten free diet for themselves or their family members.

There is a lot of great information here. Take a walk around.

Have your tried the gluten free diet? Perhaps that may be your cure. ;)

The only 'cure' for DH is the gluten free diet. You can get a prescription med called Dapsone but that only helps the skin and will not help with any other issues. Dapsone does not stop the progression of the disease or the autoimmune process. If you have DH you really do need to be gluten free.

Yes, I have been reading forums for some years, and the only two things for DH are Dapsone and gluten-free diet. They have stopped prescribing Dapsone alone, which they did many years ago, nowadays it is gluten-free diet first and maybe Dapsone.

Note that iodine triggers Dh too, until one has been gluten-free for a year or two. After that, one may be able to tolerate iodine some say.

DH is triggered by Ttg-3 antibodies, celiac by Ttg-2 antibodies. Gluten ataxia by Ttg-6 antibodies.

But all kinds of oterh endocrine tissues have receptors for gliadin and for example thyrodi tissue sends out antibodies to thyroid triggered by gluten. Both graves antibodies and hashimotos. Same with adrenals and pancreas, gluten triggers antibodies to adrenals and diabetes1 antibodies.

And many more autoimmune things in the body.

You could try yoga and acupuncture but I think they only help a little bit re. autoimmunity. Maybe some supplements help too a little bit but only going completely gluten-free will make a dent.

I read on the delphi celiac forum that one chiropractor had proclaimed he could cure celiac but there was a storm by people posting that he should be prosecuted. I talked to a woman doing kinesiology who told me she could cure celiac but I have not tried....On the celiac forum there were some that had gone to practitioners who did something I do not remember I think it was bioset, mainly about allergies, but they got better from their allergies, but it did not make any dent in the celiac issue.

Yep, sorry to break it to you, but the only cure for DH and celiac is a gluten free diet. When were you diagnosed? because it appears you haven't done much research on what gluten really is. There is not way to get around it. Honestly, the longer you wait to go gluten free the more problem are going to start popping up. Please consider it, many of us wished we would have had the good fortune of someone actually giving us a diagnosis YEARS sooner. It would have saved a lot of pain, additional system problems, and many headaches!!

We all want to see you well, none of this is any fun! Check out a book called "The Gluten Connection" it is very informative. You can make bread that is gluten free, and it tastes great. The stuff you buy tastes and feels like hockey pucks, so don't waste your money (not that I have actually eaten a hockey puck)

take care,

      Scott, I know full well that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and gluten sensitivity is not. And I agree that there is inconsistency in the use of the terms. But my contention is that "gluten intolerance" should not be used of NCGS since "gluten sensitivity" is actually found in the gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and, therefore, "gluten intolerance" should be reserved as a common/nonmedical equivalent for celiac disease. It also seems to me that "intolerance" implies something more severe than does "sensitive". And it just seems to me that, though there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms, there is a movement toward using "gluten intolerant" to refer to celiac disease rather than NCGS. But that is just my opinion and perhaps, to be honest, a bit of a personal crusade. Actually, we would all be better off if we quit using the those informal terms "intolerance" and "sensitivity" and just speak of celiac disease and NCGS.

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...

      PS - Many new celiacs report that they can go gluten-free, with the exception of giving up beer. That seems to be a bridge too far from many celiacs, and may be why nearly 20% cheat on their diets:

      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.
